Africa: Fashions Inspiration.
In the past decade, the presence of Africa-its fabrics & Prints- has been felt on fashions runways worldwide, especially by sought-after designers like Jean Paul Gautier, Cavalli just to name a few. See more from Style.com
With so much African influence on the runway, you might wonder if there are designers that hail from the continent that births so much inspiration. Indeed, there are. We have the ever popular, world renowned Yves Saint Laurent of North Africa {French Algeria}, the up & coming phenomenom – Duro Olowu….and it just doesn’t stop there!
Coming to the rescue of fashion enthusiasts everywhere is HauTe – Fashion Africa Magazine & FashionAfrica.com
FashionAfrica.Com is a portal for everything Fashion & of course Africa. It compliments the quarterly Magazine that is HauTe – a 100+ page fashion magazine that features the works of African designers all around the world, exhibiting a taste for the cultural tempered with an appreciation of the varied degrees of influence by the west in today’s fashion….Welcome & hope you enjoy it.

In the past, and in recent times, the world has not given Africa the credit that it deserves in the fashion world, not only for inspiring, but for producing some of the greatest designers in modern fashion history.
….now they will be forced to recognize.
….and we shall be fashionable about the forcing.

Excellent work! I’m so impressed I plan to speak to the president of CN about investing heavily in what you have here. I’m so proud to be African and so should the rest of the world. Expect my call, and loads of cash!
